This may not sound great but for the number of emails we get I am extremely happy. We get more and more artists sending back responses when we can&#8217;t use their music asking why.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s a fair question but not one I want to answer all the time. We will say we are unable to use a song or songs on the stations. I have talked about the reasons before but it seems more and more artists are emboldened and feel entitled to an answer. Let me ask you. When we get a song, and we can hear it&#8217;s out of tune, the production is not good or any one of a number of circumstances do you want me to tell you that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Just because I feel the quality isn&#8217;t what we need, it may in fact be the sound you are going for. There is a lot of music that comes in sounding tinny or distorted. Apparently that&#8217;d popular these days. But what works for the artist may not be the sound I am looking for. Who ammi to judge the music. No one. Except to decide what goes to air on KB Radio and KB Country Radio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Do yourself a favor and save the attitude because once I get that, those email senders are marked as junk and no longer hit my inbox. As I say you work with us we will work with you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A major part of our effort to get caught up near the start of the year is I wanted to get back to more live shows. Not feel the drag of work taking away from the joy of broadcasting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We have tested some shows and programming over the past few months and it&#8217;s time to get everything more focused for the listeners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So let&#8217;s start with the shows that are returning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mondays @8pm on KB New Indie Music<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mondays @8pm on KB Country New Indie Music<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Please note we are working on making some changes to these shows with hosts etc but no time slot changes planned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Monday Through Friday @Noon KB Radio Made in Canada &#8211; All Canadian Music<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Monday @9pm on KB The 70s show returns 9-11pm<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Tuesday @8PM on KB Country Nashville Backroads with Lizzy Beth Gordon **NEW**<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Wednesday 8pm on KB Indie Top 40 Countdown<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Replays Thursday at 8am<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Thursday @ 8PM Under the Covers on KB (Full 1 hour show) **NEW**<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Thursday at 9PM The 80s show returns on KB 9-11<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Friday @4pm The Incurables Power Hour 2.0 on KB<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Repeats Saturdays @noon<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Friday @6pm The Pluggin Baby Radio show on KB<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Friday @8pm Luxx Traxx with Rachel on KB<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Friday @8pm on KB Country The Country Top 30 countdown.
